SeedCorn Deadline is 1pm today

Conor O'Neill 26th of September 2008 by Conor O'Neill

This came as a shock to me last night when I went to check the closing time for Seedcorn applications. The deadline is not close-of-business, it is 1pm! So if you are doing any last minute edits, hurry up.

And good luck.

  • €100,000 for overall Emerging International Company
